Dennis,
The Asus web site indicates that your processor is supported. They specifically show this processor model..
Core 2 Extreme QX6800 (2.93GHz,1066FSB,L2:2X4MB,rev.G0,4 cores)
As long as you have BIOS 2205 minimum.
So you could have a defective processor, bad BIOS settings (set defaults with your old processor installed), a defective motherboard, or the processor is improperly installed.
